The Day The Angels Helped - Part III

. . . I prayed and cried and prayed and cried until the kids were like, "Mom, you're creeping us out!" By this time, my husband was back with the supplies and I had managed to detach my knees from the floor. We assigned each kid to a room and began doing the 12 loads of laundry that needed doing. We thought, "Who would put black tile on your bathroom walls and floors?" Again, the need to vomit arose in my throat as we realized the tile was really green and the black was mold. Then, this is how things went: each room started to shape up very neatly and very quickly, garbage bags were filling up with garbage without anyone doing it, 12 loads of laundry were done in 3 hours, the mold in the bathroom seemed to melt off the walls and floors, windows sparkled cleaned and the most surprising - the kitchen floor was spotless. God had sent us an army of angels. . .unseen helpers to let us keep our promise to Nick. When we think of angels we think of shiny, gleaming, bright white beings with wings and halos. But, for sure these angels got dirty this day. Without Divine intervention, our efforts would have failed. Imagine Nick's surprise when the inspector cleared his home for his return. Imagine our delight in keeping our promise. But the story doesn't end here. . .
